REPORT BACK FROM EQASA – IGEQ

The Managing Director of EQASA Mrs Di Pieterse, accompanied by fellow director Mrs Troy Kernick and Mrs Zena Penfold attended the annual International Group for Equestrian Qualifications (IGEQ) conference which was held in Belgium,

it was exciting to note that South Africa are frontrunners with our education and assessment process insofar as we are recognized by government through CEEPSA.

REGISTRATION OF RIDING SCHOOLS AND LIVERY YARDS.

Although huge interest has been shown since this initiative was launched, many applications are pending while minor requirements are being attended to.

The most gratifying thing is that the standards are being raised, and compliance is now understood and addressed. This speaks to CEEPSA’s mandate as a Professional Body and in addition we are protecting the interests of the industry and its stakeholders as well as the public

We are preparing a handbook unpacking the criteria which will ba available in January 2018.

Remember you will become a preferred service provider once you are registered and the public will know that you have complied with strict criteria and are fully accountable.
